Apparently, several White House staffers were so concerned that Trump would withdraw from NAFTA that they called Canadian PM Justin Trudeau and asked him to call Trump to ask him to not pull out of NAFTA. The call is (basically) coming from inside the house!

If the grown-ups at the White House keep running the country via secret phone calls to Trudeau and former Obama staffers, we may survive the next 4 years after all.

Also, who has two thumbs and gets to see Hamilton next month? This guy!

Sally Yates yesterday testified she told the White House on two consecutive days that Flynn could be blackmailed by the Russians. The White House didn’t fire Flynn from his National Security Advisor job until 18 days later, the day after the Washington Post published leaked information that Flynn was a foreign agent. Would Flynn even have been fired had there been no leak?

The alternative fact that Flynn’s appointment as National Security Advisor was Obama’s fault since it was the Obama’s responsibility to vet Trump’s appointments became fake news, except for Rubepublicans, when it became known that Obama warned Trump two days after the election about Flynn. Spicer will let us know when new alternative facts have been devised.

What does Karen have on her schedule for May 21st? If there’s a scheduling conflict that you only found out about after you found out the debate would be open to the public, let the public at least know what she’s doing that’s more important then a debate.

No one in the GOP is capable of checking Trump, notwithstanding occasional grunts and window dressing comments by Graham and McCain that they’ll do so. It’s a prediction suffused with hope and enthusiasm, but Trump puts Ossoff over the top with this.
